ABSTRACT:
A carrier vehicle for carrying at least one car or the like on a platform slidable and tiltable relative to a fixed bed includes hold-down devices for locking the platform against tilting when the platform is in a rest position in the forward end of the bed. Hydraulic cylinders selectively slide the platform and tilt the platform by separate control rods which are manually actuated. The vehicle includes a safety device for preventing tilting of the platform when the platform is locked by the hold-down devices so as not to break the hold-down devices and for preventing the platform from tilting downwardly onto the hold-down devices when the platform has been slid forwardly but not tilted completely for locking by the hold-down devices. The safety device includes a cam plate fixed to the control rod which effects tilting and a stop plate fastened to a rail forming a portion of the platform. The stop plate and the cam plate are located so that they engage when the platform is locked by the hold-down devices and when the platform is positioned at the forward end of the bed but not completely tilted for locking engagement with the hold-down devices. When the stop plate and the cam plate engage, the tilt function is disabled.
